Fox News
The Environmental Protection Agency rescinded a portion of its regulations impacting bodies of water nationwide following a high-profile Supreme Court ruling.
"While I am disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision in the Sackett case, EPA and Army have an obligation to apply this decision alongside our state co-regulators, Tribes, and partners," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement. "We’ve moved quickly to finalize amendments to the definition of ‘waters of the United States’ to provide a clear path forward that adheres to the Supreme Court’s ruling." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"EPA will never waver from our responsibility to ensure clean water for all," Regan added. "Moving forward, we will do everything we can with our existing authorities and resources to help communities, states, and Tribes protect the clean water upon which we all depend."
